Apple Releases OS X 10.9.5 With Reliability Improvements, Safari 7.0.6

[CIA]

2012 Mac Pro and 3 2013 MacMini's all updated super fast. But the pair of 2009 iMac's are having super slow update downloads... Every machine was on 10.9.4 before, and the updates all started around the same time. Interesting. Update is only 136MB also...

Can any of you guys tell me if it's worth installing Yosemite, now? I installed DP2 upon release and just couldn't get along with it so had to reinstall Mavericks which is long and annoying, so don't wanna have to do that again.

use super duper to make a clone of your startup drive. easy to go back,

DP8 seems a lot more stable for me. Finder kept crashing on DP7 among other annoying thing. I was going to downgrade back but I'm keeping it now

Apparently Apple decided to test how much their servers and bandwith pipes could handle at one time. Releasing a new iOS and a new OS X on the same day, that's ballsy.

Can anyone out there, who was having Apple Mail/Gmail IMAP problems still with 10.9.4 -- and despite some people saying their was ok, there were many who did have problems still -- clarify whether this new 10.9.5 solves things?

I still remain unconvinced whether Mavericks is rock solid with Gmail IMAP.

Need some reassurance.

Actually this is the first update where Apple made Safari significantly less snappy so people would stop making this joke.

The snappier joke makes me laugh everytime.

That made me laugh. Kudos to servers and/or CDN provider(s).

You know, I was just trying to be polite... whereby using the word "snappier" in a post about an OS X update is kinda like saying "gesundheit" when somebody sneezes.

 

[scottsjack]

Anybody know if this update is expected to make Safari feel snappier?

Yes, Safari feels snappier. I'll verify after getting home from work, install the update and trying it out.

Thanks for the head up, dude. Gonna get downloading.

There is also a server App update (3.2.1).

 

[charlien]

Interesting that they fixed SMB connections. I've been considering dumping my windows FS due to all the issues - unaccesible file shares until I reboot the server. Hope this fixes it.

Bad timing!

Strange that they announced this today. Their software update servers are getting hammered.

I have never experienced such a slowdown with Apple's content delivery network before. I have a 40 mbps Internet connection, but I'm only getting about 2.1 KB/sec.

Even during past iOS/Mac OS X releases I didn't notice much slowdown. For iOS 7 I remember downloading iOS in 7 minutes, and this time it is 12 HOURS.

Something must be wrong with connectivity to their CDN from Orange County, CA -- this can't be entirely due to user traffic.

The 10.9.5 update would make sense if iCloud Drive is supported, but I can't find positive info about it. Anybody knows ?

 

[RobFog]

It’s not.

 

[DisMyMac]

Sometimes this will hint at what's coming. 5.5 gigs of code, start reading...

There would be less reason to upgrade to Yosemite if they included iCloud Drive with mavericks.

Doesn't really feel snappier for me...

Mavericks is my favourite OS X version thus far. Followed by Tiger. Not upgrading to Yosemite anytime soon.

everything works in Mavericks...it even connects to servers

I did this upgrade a few minutes ago. worked fine

I am surprised they put this out the same day as iOS8.....wouldnt that cause buko server traffic|?

just don't tell the live stream guy...he will muck it up!

The update from 10.9.4 is under 150MB on my systems. No major load on servers.

 

[arpi]

Also Safari 7.1 with DuckDuckGo search engine, released. Just popped up in the software updates.

 

[BornAgainMac]

All my iOS devices are screaming at me to upgrade to Yosemite so that I can upgrade my iCloud drive. Looking forward to Yosemite next.

 

[ArtOfWarfare]

Great! Maybe Xcode 6.0.1 will show up for me in the Mac App Store after I update to 10.9.5 (I noticed in the release notes it said it came with the OS X 10.9.5 SDK, so maybe that's why it wouldn't appear on my computer when it's only running OS X 10.9.4?)

 

[iPhil]

Mavericks package has Safari 7.0.6 but Safari 7.1 was in the "box' also ..

 

[coolfactor]

After a very slow download, OS X 10.9.5 and Safari 7.0.6 are installed and everything is snappy!

 

[mattburley7]

just got the safari 7.1 update also.
